JB Burrage

Known for writing stories with three-dimensional characters that are easily relatable and conversation-starting topics, JB Burrage doesn’t limit himself to a single genre. Instead, he writes as he is impressed; whenever motivated. No holds barred regarding genre; rather, he prefers to express himself through several types of written art, including stage plays, short stories, and blog posts. For this reason, he prefers to be looked upon as a creative writer rather than simply an author or playwright.

An Army veteran, Jacob Burrage was born in Jackson, Mississippi. He grew up in Meridian, Mississippi. He started writing at an early age as a way of expressing his thoughts, as he was known for not being very talkative. During that time, he wrote short scripts that were performed in his elementary and middle school classes. After graduating in 1999, he enlisted in the U.S. Army, where he served until 2010.

After leaving the Army, he moved to Las Cruces, New Mexico, where he began his pursuit of business studies and started working towards a degree at New Mexico State University—Dona Ana Community College, promoted his book, and wrote plays and his first short stories. By May 2014, he received an associate’s degree in Business Management. He moved to Atlanta, Georgia later in 2014.

Ambitious and dedicated, JB Burrage continues to work behind-the-scenes to develop trailblazing projects. He’s working to expand his footprints in the literary and entertainment world and thus taking his career to new heights. Never satisfied with his present accomplishments, he continues to develop new concepts and ideas for print and production, as well as looking into creative and experimental means to convey these various ideas to the world.

When he’s not working, he splits his time between Atlanta and Meridian to spend time with family and friends. Some of his hobbies include sitting outdoors at night to watch the stars, listening to music, and playing chess, checkers, and the game Risk.
